400: Chapter 400: No Room for Negotiation (Part 2)_1 400: Chapter 400: No Room for Negotiation (Part 2)_1 Yang Ruxin looked at Uncle Xiaowu with gratitude and then walked up to Yang Peili, pointing towards the room: âFather, if you donât give me an explanation for this matter, I definitely wonât let it go.â She paused, âThe hole in the wall has been opened for a long time now, and donât even think about covering it up again, unless you tear down the house and rebuild the wall.
Otherwise, as soon as the officials from the Governorâs Office come to inspect, they will know the truth.â
âDaniâŠâ Yang Peili called out anxiously, âWould it work if I ask your Fourth Uncle to apologize to you?
Family shames should not be spread abroad, after all.
Moreover, if this gets out, it wonât be good for any of youâŠâ
âHeheâŠâ Yang Ruxin laughed, âFather, âfamily shame should not be spread abroadâ?
Are you sure that no one else knows about our familyâs dirty laundry?â She took a pause, âDo you think an apology will suffice?â
Yang Peiliâs brow furrowed even deeper: âThen what do you want?â
âEither have Yang Baichuan and Yang Baifu sent to the Governorâs Office for an investigation, or let our main branch completely sever ties with the Yang Family.â Yang Ruxinâs attitude was firm.
âHow can that be?â Yang Peili exclaimed in shock.
âHow can it not be?â Yang Ruxinâs brows lifted slightly, âThereâs no room for negotiation on this matterâŠâ
âButâŠ
what about your reputation?â Yang Peili sighed, still somewhat unwilling, âEspecially your mother, sheâs a widow without a familyâŠ
How will she manage to stand on her own in the future?â
Yang Ruxin, who had already turned to leave, turned back around and looked seriously at Yang Peili: âFather, is my mother still alive?â
Yang Peili was instantly at a loss for words.
âFather, reputation really isnât that important to me,â Yang Ruxin scoffed coldly, âWe havenât done anything wrong; we are the victims.
Why shouldnât we stand tall and righteous?
On the other hand, why should the malefactors who harmed others live so freely?
Thereâs no such logic in this world.
So, Father, donât push me to my limits.
It would be best if you make a decision that satisfies me.
Otherwise, I truly wouldnât mind using my own methods to deal with these scumbags.
When that time comes, Iâll settle the accounts with the second and fourth branches together.â
Yang Peiliâs spine involuntarily chilled, recalling the unsheathed, icy gleam of the kitchen knife that had come down without hesitation.
He shivered inexplicably and finally empathized with his old wifeâs feelings.
Yang Ruxin looked again at Baixiang, who was not far away: âFather, heâs also your son, already in his twenties.
Have you thought about his future?â
Yang Peili was taken aback and instinctively glanced at Baixiang: âXiaowuâŠ
heâŠâ
âActually, I really donât understand,â Yang Ruxin took a deep breath, âThe same sons and daughters, why is there such a big difference?
They say both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh, but why is it that in the Yang Family, the more filial children get treated worse?â
Yang Peiliâs mouth opened, but he couldnât make a sound.
Yang Ruxin curled her lips into an ironic smile and then turned to walk over to Baixiang: âUncle Xiaowu, no one will plan for you, unless you work like an ox or a horse in this family until you drop dead, otherwise, youâll never be freeâŠ
If you donât plan for yourself, then you deserve to follow in my motherâs footstepsâŠâ After saying this, she went over, took Xiaofengâs hand, and turned to leave.
But just as she reached the doorway, she turned back: âBy the way, that room belongs to the main branch; I like it just the way it is without a door.
I hope you donât go in or touch anything, otherwise, donât blame me for coming back here to rage.â With that, she calmly left the old mansion.
